Chapter 14: The Scorpion Pirates
Cervantes' description basically shows that the pirate profession is on the rise, and the pirate city built by Lidas in the Sea of Sin has established a "home" for the vast number of pirates. However, Sojes is also a person who understands, he knows very well: don't look at the "Six Emperors" so majestic, but in fact, their comprehensive strength is still not the opponent of the Seven Empires, and the reason why they can exist today is because the empires are already hostile to each other, maybe there are exceptions, but they are definitely a minority.
It can also be said that the development of the Six Emperors is also the result that the empire wants to see in a sense, just like: "Gun Saint" Brian's sphere of influence is between the Twilight Sea and the Five Colors Sea, then his existence to a certain extent prevents the large-scale war between the Alonso Empire and Colt's Empire, and if the two countries want to take the initiative to start a war, then they need a tribute to invite Brian's Soul Pirate Regiment.
Therefore, an interesting situation has formed in the world: the empire is trying to exterminate the six emperors, but it needs the six emperors to balance the war between the empires, and they are also taboo about the strength of the six emperors themselves, and how much strength they can have left after destroying them
Therefore, the world is now only engaged in frequent small-situation wars, of course, the specific situation is not something that Sojes can understand in this small shrimp on the sea now.
Rather than talking about the big forces that came and went, Sojeth was discussing with everyone with great interest how to fight the Scorpion Pirate Regiment. They are not stupid, with such a small number of people on their own side as they must be abused by the other party, but there is an advantage here, and the advantage is Cervantes, an elf who has just joined.
After the discussion was over, they muttered to each other for a long time, and after everyone was busy for a long time, Sogers's face suddenly changed, and he punched the elf's handsome face, and Cervantes seemed to be defenseless, and was knocked to the ground, and soon, there was a strange scene of a handsome young man riding a handsome elf's body with a hammer on the body of the potato......
After a long time of fighting, Cervantes had a blue nose and swollen face, and Sojes was so tired that he sat on the ground panting, and ordered his subordinates to lock up the elves with iron chains. It was at this moment that a rapid shout from the lookout immediately put his spirit in a tense state.
"Boss! A ship has been spotted at 40 degrees on the port side!
Sorjes hurriedly ordered the pirates to hurry up, while he grabbed the monocular pinned to his belt and followed the direction indicated by the lookout.
"Black background, red scorpion pattern, sure enough, it's the war scorpion pirate group, he is NN's, it's coming so fast!" Sojes was a little restless in his heart, the plan specified before was not perfect, but the pirates were the ones who knew how to see the wind and steer the rudder, if they saw their own lineup, they might not even have time to negotiate before a conflict broke out in an instant.
It's still too bad, Sojes smiled bitterly, but when it came to the end, he could only fight to the death...... Knowing the difference between friend and foe, Sojes quietly slashed the skin of his palm with the blade of his sword, and when he felt blood flowing out, he broke open a small piece of wood on the railing and sucked it into the wound with his fighting spirit, and he didn't know what his intentions were.
The speed of the battleship was fast, and Sojes, who was standing on the deck, could only look up at the captain of the Scorpion Pirate Regiment, and it was obvious that the other side of the battleship with gun doors was much more professional than his own civilian armed ship. It's just that the position of the deck from Sojath is too high to see how many people there are, and at this moment, he regrets that he didn't go directly to the lookout to reconnoiter the other party's actions just now.
Obviously, the War Scorpion Pirate Regiment was also a bad comer, and it didn't dodge at all, but fortunately, the order was timely to make the Potato only shake a little, but even this caused a burst of scolding from the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment.
On the battleship docked next to him stood a muscular man about two meters tall, with his arms folded around his chest, and his hands were covered with iron thorns.
"I'm the captain of the Scorpiontail, Baron Frederick, I haven't seen your pirate flag, so report it!" the muscular man's tone was not arrogant, but his attitude of looking at people from the corner of his eyes made Sojes angry, and there was no politeness at the moment.
"I'm the leader of the Dragon's Tooth Pirate Regiment, who are you, Lao Tzu is not that interested in knowing, if you just pass by, don't get in the way, if you want to fight, our brother will accompany you to fight to the death!"
Frederick's originally disdainful face changed slightly, from the position where he was standing, he could naturally see that the Potato was now only about forty people on the deck, after the collision just now, if there were people in the cabin, I am afraid that they would have already come out, so now even if some people who are not in the calculation range are added, there are only fifty people at most.
"Such a small group of pirates dares to argue with the Scorpion Pirates, it seems that either they are all idiots, or their captain has an extraordinary side. Thinking of this, Frederick squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Boy, the group of rice buckets that dare to shout at us have already been fed sharks, but I appreciate your courage, but!" Frederick changed his words. "But courage alone is not enough on the sea, join our war scorpion pirate group, you have great potential, and the group of boys behind you are also very courageous, with us, it is much safer than you little thieves doing it yourself!"
Fortunately, God is still on my side, Sojes prayed in his heart to the gods and Buddhas, his face was a little reluctant, it seemed to be a little hesitant, and he replied after a while: "Joining you? That's a good thing, I think you just don't want unnecessary casualties, so you pretend to persuade us to surrender, and wait for us to surrender and then catch them all after we surrender, right?"
Frederick was stunned for a moment, but showed an appreciative expression, if the other party immediately agreed to submit, then he would have to ponder the sincerity of the other party, Sogers's words made him dispel this idea, but even so, this kind of villainous words made him very unhappy, and his tone became gloomy again: "I said, don't be embarrassed! If Lao Tzu really wants to kill, it only takes one round of artillery bombardment to sink your ship, is it necessary to think about countermeasures for you little thieves?"
The play is almost done, and if it continues, I am afraid it will be self-defeating, Sojes also showed a ashamed expression at the right time, touched the back of his head with some remorse, and said: "It's me who didn't think it through, Captain Frederick, don't be surprised, we are just a group of small pirates, and we naturally have to be careful when encountering a powerful group like you, in order to show our sincerity, I decided to give a gift." After speaking, he turned around and yelled:
"Little ones, bring the 'greeting' to Captain Frederick!" Hearing this, several pirates ran into the cabin, and before long they came out with Cervantes, who was constantly struggling.
"Elf!" Frederick was also stunned by the sincerity of Sogers's generosity, and then noticed that the elf with a blue nose and swollen face seemed to be a little familiar, and before he could look closely, Sogers's voice reached his ears again:
"This elf was bumped into by us when he was drifting on the sea before, but although he was injured, he also has some strength after all, so he can only fight until he loses the ability to fight back, otherwise, hehe......" The next words Sojers didn't say, but Frederick also understood, otherwise it would be this group of little pirates who lost the ability to fight back now.
